I remember that day so well,
walking in the hallway,
avoiding you at every way possible,
because after kissing me the day before,
you just walked off into the abyss.
It seemed that day,
that wherever i went,
you seemed to be there as well,
looks of sorrow implanted on your face.
Then finally,
you grabbed my shoulders and pulled me to the side,
Looking into my eyes with your own light blue ones...
'I'm sorry,' you said with actual tears.
'I was just too afraid.'
I sighed and shook my head.
'Afraid of what?'
He took one of his hands and lightly brushed my cheek.
'Of love.'
I looked at him confused...
Of love?
Afraid of love?
'When I kissed you,
I realized that I am in love.'
I smiled and then tears of my own fell too.
'I am in love too,' I lightly whispered.

Oh this brought a tear to my eye. Very intense with emotion and unskilled love so readily expressed in learning its ways. Thanks for entering. Good luck.
